Client Testimonials
"My wife and I were helping her sister move to Bozeman and contacted Tricia from 45th Parallel Realty. We were very impressed with Tricia from the moment we met her. She was excellent at communicating with us to understand exactly what we were looking for and what our expectations were.Tricia showed us several properties and patiently asked questions to help us find the perfect home. Being new to Bozeman, Tricia was invaluable with recommending home inspection and mortgage companies as well as ensuring we were well informed with real estate laws specific to MT. Living in different states made contract negotiations and paperwork more complicated, but Tricia constantly kept us informed and helped walk us through the entire process. We will not hesitate to rely on Tricia for any future real estate needs." -- Bill Sebastian

Tricia is fair and honest and has a wealth of knowledge regarding real estate. She gave us great advice, which we so appreciated.

"You make it easy, and you bring the business AND the personal support both when they are needed most. I am so grateful for your guidance and expertise!You know your stuff!" -- Becky Michaels
"Thank you so much for working with my family to help my Aunt find a home! I feel like you really went above and beyond, and I appreciate that so much! I know everyone is happy about the house and excited to enjoy time there." -- Jasmine Sebastian
"I was referred to Tricia by a good friend when I was ready to purchase a house. Tricia reached out to me right away to get an idea of timeline, budget, what I wanted and started looking for me right away. I was a little nervous, as I knew it would be a few months before I was ready to close, but she explained everything about starting to look to see what I liked and maybe I could build, etc. Off we went. She was tireless, energetic, fun and saw things that I didn't when I needed to. She successfully got me out of a build-to-suit situation with a very badly behaved builder. Even though she knew I was disappointed in not being able to build that dream home, she got me back up on that horse and out we went again - and that day I found the very house that has now become my forever home. I am pretty high strung, and I cannot imagine having tried to get through the experience of buying a house without Tricia Bailey! I will recommend her to anyone I know who's looking to buy or sell, and if in the future I am in the market again, she will be the one I go to! Thank you Tricia for everything you did for me and all the support and help you were. Can't wait for you to see how it looks now!" -- Marie Lockhart

Thanks for everything, Tricia!" -- Ellen Tenney

"Working with Tricia was very enjoyable. Because we live far from Bozeman, we relied on her for updates, help with coordinating showings with our property manager and renters, and all the large and small details we couldn't address. Her advice was extremely helpful in setting a listing price, and at all times we knew she was looking out for our, not her, best interests. We recommend Tricia to anyone looking to sell (or buy) property in the Bozeman area." -- Tom and Barbara Haynes
"Tricia gave us excellent service and advice throughout the 6-month search for our new home. She is knowledgeable about the area and showed us homes that were within our price guidelines.

She was incredibly helpful with all of the 'moving to a new area' details and closing details. Thank you, Tricia!" -- Ron and Barb Adlington

Tricia went far beyond normal 'service' by communicating regularly, for recommending qualified individuals to assist with repairs, for creating an attractive marketing package for the home, by energetically and professionally representing my interests, for researching numerous details requested by prospective buyers, by holding multiple open houses, by calming my jitters with humor and sound professional advice and by generating offers and backup offers to insure timely closing on the property. Tricia conducted this transaction with integrity, honesty and enthusiasm ... it was such a pleasure to trust her for this important milestone." -- Nancy Williams

She worked very hard for us, and we are very grateful." -- Ken and Kathy Robertson
